Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 120 milliliters plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 60 grams mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 pieces green onions, thinly sliced
- 8 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the herb potato salad. Start by boiling the baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, dill, and green onions to create the dressing.
Cut the cooled potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and toss them gently in the herb dressing. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and browned on all sides. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Serve the grilled chicken kebabs hot with the chilled herb potato salad on the side. Enjoy!
